The Speed of today's world

It is obvious to all of us who spend some of their time to observe the world around, that the speed with which we live our lives has increased manyfold during the past 10-20-30 years. The main effect of that is increased stress in our lives, and the main reason is of course profit.
The advances in our world have made it possible to make profits "faster", which means more profits per unit of time, and consequently - more overall profits. But an immediate question arises: "Where does it end? How fast can a human being go? What is the uper limit of our adjustment to the stress and speed of our world?"
Was it not a lot better years ago, when our lives did not go at the hectic speed of light they do today? Were we less happy then?
I am just aksing the questions, I will not answer them.
